摘要:
Compositions and methods are directed to a sheath core fiber with a core and a sheath that comprises a fluoropolymer. Contemplated sheath materials include PVDF, ECTFE, and ETFE, and may have an apparent shear viscosity equal to or less than the apparent shear viscosity of the core material. Especially contemplated sheaths have a weight of 30% or less of the weight of the fiber. Preferred fibers are spun in a spin pack having a sheath material conduit with a ratio of open volume to sheath material mass flow of less than 0.75 for a fiber with a 30wt% sheath, of less than 1.15 for a fiber with a 20wt% sheath, and of less than 2.30 for a fiber with a 10wt% sheath.
摘要:
New fluid separation devices and absorption materials are disclosed. Axially slotted hollow fibers act as very high efficiency absorption materials, as well as high-surface-area fluid separation devices. The slotted fibers are constructed to preferentially absorb or repel different fluids and arranged to maximize that action over a plurality of fibers to separate different fluids. These separation devices can also function as injection devices and very effective micro-reactors.
